Commentaries on the Vedas, Upanishads & Bhagavad Gita

Excerpts from the book by Sri Chinmoy - Commentaries on the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.

You do not have to study the Vedas,
The Upanishads, the Mahabharata
And the Ramayana
To dive into the secret
And sacred wisdom-light
Of those scriptures.
He who realises God
Not only embodies all the scriptures -
Their essence and quintessence -
But also goes far, far beyond
The knowledge-seas of the past.

~ Sri Chinmoy

This volume brings together for the first time in English Sri Chinmoy's commentaries on the Vedas, Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita, ancient Indian scriptures which are the foundation of the Hindu spiritual tradition. These talks were originally given at American universities and colleges in the early 1970s. This book is both an excellent introduction for readers coming to this subject for the first time, and a series of illumining meditations for those who already know it well.

Excerpts:

1. The Vedic Bird of Illumination.
2. The crown of India's soul - The Upanishads.
3. The Gita, the song of the transcendental soul.
